Went from this.
To this:
That's such a good idea, going to get me some wrap for mine. I bet it saves a lot of heat from going up to the pan
Thats what im hoping lol. Oil pressure gets low once the car has been running for a while aka i think its overheating because turbo.
Guess wut engine is going in this engine bay!?
By the looks of the cutout, I'm thinking something big. Could it be a (K) by chance?
Ls or some other v8. Judging by the hole in the firewall.
Good stuff man. Did you do both wheel sides or just the one?
id guess k/f
Both sides. I just only took pics of one. Besides the sway bar bushings everything in the front will be new within 2 months.
But u guys are good. K series in my roommate's fc. Its gonna be a long project tho.
Welp, i got stuff in the mail the other day.
I decided to get some nice lugnuts with a lock. Because anti theft.
And i also decided to step my cooling game up with the mishimoto fan shroud kit. It should work a good bit better than my current ebay fan set up.
Oh then on a better note, i finally got my transmission(s) back. So tomorrow its going to be a day of repair. Gonna try and get it to the point where I can drive it down the road. Monday before work.(yea i know i have to clean that guy too.)
Dope keep up the good work
Awesome man! Upgrades are always nice, are you planning to do the transmission first and then once it's going again put the new rad in? Or do it all at once? What did the lugs and rad run you?
x2
its alot of work to keep it a daily. ive been sad driving the cressida the past month.
all at once. i do it big mannnn lol but the lugs are muteki sr48's. my friend who owns a shop recommended then so i puled the trigger. the alum lugs from sickspeed have past their days.
edit. the lugs and locks ran me 85ish on amazon, the fan kit was 135.

Small update,
i was phoneless for a day but the trans is in tbe car but its still on stands. The pass side hub bearing didn't get replaced but it will before it gets an aglinment.

Welp, good and bad news. Good. Its driving under its own power. The bad, one of the wheel bearings is still somehow loose after being replaced. Gues its and oem defect. & after getting on the the road and found out the transmission wines BAD. LIke straight cut gears bad. Idk why. If i wasn't late to work i would've parked it. Ill be looking at it into in the am. I did a quick Google search and its sounding like either diff is fucked, or imput shaft bearing is shat. If its imput shaft bearing then the ahop that swaped my gearset cut some corners. But ill be looking into it and prob using a diff shop for my transmission.
Dang man, you just can't get a break from this transmission dealDo they stand behind their work at all and have any warranty?
I've been going through your thread the past few mornings and I gotta say man you're going legit this time! I've also been looking at various rims and those avids you have were on my list and then I'm going through your thread and was really surprised when I saw them haha. Go figure! They look killer I think and I might get me a set too.
I hope you get the transaxle issue sorted out, what a pain in the butt!
Damn that sucks Tim. Hope you get it figured out quick without having to spend anymore of money on it.
Haha thats cool you want the avids. They dont make them in the offset i have anymore :/ butt they do make 16s and i 100% want those. Bad. But i just got new tires sooo meh lol.
& yea i can't get a break. Shits pretty weak. I just want to drive a car with boost again. Maybe trying to go legit is the problem. I Doubt ill get outta tbis without spending any money -_- im already like 1200 on this damn transmission shit. And prob 150 of that is fluid haha
i dont give a fuck.
Yaaaaaaaaa
Yea man, looks good. Video is crazy with the rattles but I still watched it a few times haha.
